STORY: The details cover it well but there's no real GL to speak of in this, it's BL. Basically, the main straight couple's relationship is threatened because the guy likes another guy. Ah, another straight guy turned gay while dating a straight girl. This show tries to pass this off with the line: "There is no right or wrong in love." Cheating is bad; don't care the reason.

ACTING/CAST: They performed well, and could summon big tears when needed.

MUSIC: Standard.

REWATCH VALUE: I saw an English-dubbed but the video quality was horrendous and I didn't care for this story, so no. Moving on.

OVERALL: Straight guy turned gay and cheating on his GF; if this appeals to you...

STORY: A cute story about Than coming to terms with his sexuality. There are some very lovely scenes with the two boys doing things together with some very pretty music in the background. It has a sweet ending too.

ACTING/CAST: The boys did well together and I liked the mom.

MUSIC: "Jigsaw Heart" by Boy Sompob is such a beautiful song; my new favorite Thai song.

REWATCH VALUE: I've seen it many times.

OVERALL: An almost perfect short BL movie.

STORY: Short slice-of-life with a gay, married Thai couple. The story was very good and realistic. The moral: Relationships take effort to maintain and this was a good reminder of that. The ending is so sweet.

ACTING/CAST: I think the actors had good chemistry.

MUSIC: I loved that end song and the music in general.

REWATCH VALUE: (UPDATED) Well, since I went through the trouble of resubbing the entire video and post it in 1080p...I've seen it a lot. Still sweet. Check the comments section for the link.

OVERALL: I liked that the couple already had an established relationship and were mature.

STORY: Porsche left to work in another city, leaving Emma behind. She meets Night who has had a crush on her since High School. Pick still can't figure out what to do with Rome, but now another guy, Din has started hanging out with Rome which makes Pick jealous.

ACTING/CAST: All great actors, so nice to see many of them come together from different series.

MUSIC: Great music.

REWATCH VALUE: Yeah, just the parts with Rome and Pick.

OVERALL: I am kinda sad to see the warm, sweet charm of Season 1 disappear. They definitely went in a different direction. Porsche is very moody and not as charismatic as before. Adding more cast has added much more tension. It feels like the innocence was lost between seasons.

STORY: Read the other review for more details. What I'll add is that it's a very warm and cute romantic comedy. Nothing complicated and nothing tragic. There are two couples: Porsche who chases Emma and a BL slow burning bromance between Pick and Rome that turns into something more. There are some downright hilarious bits in this series too; I was laughing hard.

ACTING/CAST: Sirisorn Vorakorn (Porsche) is great; very charismatic. Rome and Pick are super cute too. It was also nice to see Cheewagaroon Harit from Love Sick in this (super cute).

MUSIC: I liked the music. Another fine soundtrack for a good Thai drama.

REWATCH VALUE: I may but looking more towards Season 2.

OVERALL: A nice, heartwarming show that focuses on 4 people without a lot of extra messy plot lines getting in the way. Also, cute dogs.

STORY: This is a crazy love triangle and the movie tells you that in the first 60 seconds. The story is well written and I like that it starts (after the 60 seconds) with a nice couple who are in a long-term relationship and living happily together. That seems so rare in BL dramas. Well, it doesn't last long as Wan gets a job and falls for his amazing boss, Ohm. Things go to hell real quick after that. As much as I detest cheating and infidelity, the story is compelling all the way to the end. The ending was powerful and abrupt but not sad nor happy.

ACTING/CAST: WOW, these guys are smokin' HOT. Good actors too, all mature. The sexual tension between the actors was palpable.

MUSIC: It was good for this drama, very polished.

REWATCH VALUE: Yeah, might watch it again with a friend cause I'd like to see the eye candy again.

OVERALL: I can't stand the love triangle stuff but this movie does have a high production value. It's sexy and slick with great cinematography.

STORY: This movie is pretty short but essentially about Pun and Mon rekindling old feelings for each other and Pun having a crisis of conscience over this. There are a number of cute scenes, kinda slow in parts, and a bit of screen time is wasted on replaying scenes we just watched; with the exception of one scene which you get to see what was missing from the scene earlier, which was a nice touch.

ACTING/CAST: Richard Ricardo Carter is very cute and rather irresistible.

MUSIC: I liked the music also. It was very fitting.

REWATCH VALUE: Yeah, I'd watch it again.

OVERALL: A short about rekindling a friendship and more. It's was worth 45 minutes of my time.

STORY: Ton and Tawan love each other deeply but their love is tested by Ton's new secretary who seems to be the perfect match for him. Then Tawan starts acting distant and cold towards Ton, pushing him away.

Total run-time: 60 minutes over 5 episodes, or about 12 minutes each. Easy binge.

Much of this show is shot out-of-sequence and it's all brought together in the final episode. Bring tissue because it's so touching. It's a happy ending but very tearful.

ACTING/CAST: Ever since Grey Rainbow have I wanted to see Nut Rattanamongkol again. He is so sweet and charming. The actress is very beautiful also.

MUSIC: That last song was so bittersweet. In fact, another Thai drama with great music.

REWATCH VALUE: It's not long so I'll probably watch it again with a friend.

OVERALL: Some parts the pacing may seem a little slow but really this story just takes its time to be told. I think it's rather poetic and done well.

STORY: A short story I'd chalk up to fantasy. It's hard to say what actually was going on. But I still liked it.

ACTING/CAST: Falling in Love with a Rival ring a bell? These guys are cute. Too bad Feng Jian Yu didn't have any lines.

MUSIC: The song was English-subbed.

REWATCH VALUE: For eye candy purposes only. Though the scenes with the cat were cute.

OVERALL: A short one to tide me over until Counterattack Season 2.

STORY: Two college roommates live together and one (Lu Qi Ming) is killed in a car accident. He was given the chance to come back for a limited time to tie up loose ends. He loves his roommate (Ye Xiao Ou) so much but will he be able to tell him before his time is up?

I liked the story concept very much. I've seen it twice. The ending is sad and sort of confusing though but it ties into the very beginning of the video. I didn't notice that the first time around. As mentioned in the comments, something is up with the editing, seems parts were cut or jump around.

ACTING/CAST: Hu Xu Chen did a great job as he was both annoying and cute while playing the very immature Ye Xiao Ou. He just made Lu Qi Ming want to love him. Good chemistry.

MUSIC: Odd in parts, pretty in others.

REWATCH VALUE: Twice already. If I ever find a complete uncut version, I'll watch it a third time.

OVERALL: Love someone while you have the opportunity. Life is so short. Don't let it slip away.

If you knew your love would someday kill the one you love, what would you do differently?

STORY: Two college guys who are very close friends come to love one another before tragedy strikes. This is a short BL story, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Happy ending.

ACTING/CAST: The guy playing Paul is just super cute. They did a fine job acting.

MUSIC: Uh, no idea. Too busy watching.

REWATCH VALUE: Yes. Such a neat short story. I hope to share it with friends.

OVERALL: A neat story, kinda like The Butterfly Effect. Hope you got 30 minutes to spare, it's worth it.

STORY: The lives of a group of people intertwine at a popular coffee shop, through a popular web blog "The Underwear", and high school. This series has straight and gay themes but, unfortunately, EVERYONE is in love with the WRONG person! It'd be fine to see one example of it but the entire cast is in love with someone who loves someone else.

ACTING/CAST: Pretty faces, hot bodies, seems they can play their parts. There's some GL in this and they did not cut the kissing scenes...the actresses made it look real, very nice.

MUSIC: Great music and it was English-subbed. Seriously, is there a Thai drama that doesn't have great music?

REWATCH VALUE: Once through is fine

OVERALL: With every couple in every scene having one person in love with someone else, it's overbearing and exhausting. This series doesn't present enough side stories. This show should be subtitled: "The Underwear: Love Triangles."

STORY: OMG This was SO FUNNY! It had me rolling! You gotta see this. True, it's super short, all the episodes are 5-7 minutes, but it's great. Very fun to watch. And it just keeps getting funnier! Also has some great tender moments.

ACTING/CAST: These guys were quite cute and they did a good job.

MUSIC: After watching this again, the music is very good.

REWATCH VALUE: Yes. I already rewatched it with a friend. So hilarious.

OVERALL: Want something funny to watch? This is great. I hope they continue this series.

STORY: The details cover it well. The story-telling is fast-paced, uneven, and disjointed. If it had a proper movie length, maybe they could have done a whole lot more. There are some cute moments, lots of moments with no dialog, an in-movie summary just before the end which, according to the length of this video, was silly; seriously, we just watched those scenes a few minutes ago and now you're wasting precious screen time showing us them again?

ACTING/CAST: They're cute guys. That's about all this movie has going for it.

MUSIC: Meh.

REWATCH VALUE: Nah. Might recommend a friend see it if he's got a spare hour to kill.

OVERALL: Nothing more than cute guys and the little BL on the side.
